After the car sat for a few months (74 2.0 liter factory EFI) the fuel system builds pressure as it should when the key is turned to the on position, but once the system is up to pressure (about 40PSI on the gauge) the pump shuts off as it should but the pressure drops on the gauge. Car will start but barely. Used to build pressure then the pump would shut off but gauge would stay/hold pressure at right around 40PSI until car was started. Do I have a leak somewhere. there is no evidence or gas smell.
what could it be? Up until now the car always started and ran great. |

QUOTE(Gunn1 @ Nov 28 2016, 03:28 PM)  The info in the post is ledgit. Explained exactly how it happened. Isn't it a wonderful thing and very telling that some people need to tear down others for their enjoyment. I have never overcharged , misrepresented a car or a part to anyone on this site, but yet I'm the one that gets treated like the criminal. You say things like "don't feed the troll", then why do you even comment? Others have weighed in to help in an honest fashion and I appreciate it. "if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all" I have no problem with you when you act like this, but you have a reputation here that you can't just skate away from by suddenly behaving. My problem with you is the deception you have sown, OU812. If you'll be honest and trustworthy, you'll be able to fit in. Once you are known as a deceiver, it's really hard to believe questionable stories like "45psi to a cracked hose with no drips, but that's where your fuel pressure was leaking down..." (FYI, your fuel pressure should be 30psi, not 45.) All I ask is for you to be a straight-up honorable human around us. I'll stop calling you out. I'd love to see how you installed the fuel pressure gauge. Please post a pic. |

I was just starting to learn something here about the cab. Yes Trolls suck but they are part of the landscape of fourms.
I just don't give them any attention. |
